High school friends Sherry Mattison and Maddy Meriweather refuse to allow their adult children to ruin their love of Christmas and the family-based traditions that are so near and dear to their hearts. Unlike Ebenezer Scrooge and the Grinch, they don’t decide to cancel this year’s Christmas, nor do their hearts harden.
Instead of making their annual plea for an extended Christmas like those of the good old days, the baby boomers greet their families on Thanksgiving Day with a new attitude and a feisty, festive spirit served with a non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner: Pot Luck!
Their daughters are shocked but pleased that Christmas plans are not discussed as the family watches the Thanksgiving Day parade. Everyone is relieved when half time focuses on another round of desserts and not drawing names for the annual Christmas gift exchange.
Sherry and Maddy kick off their Baby Boomer Christmas with a Black Friday shopping spree. And the 30- day countdown begins.
Will the boomers’ plans implode when someone blows the whistle on their European beach vacation?
